Stirring Appeal to Dim Out For Sake Of The Boys Who Ride Our Ships NO BOUQUETS FOR BEAU FORT OR MOREHEAD "Within the range of the skyglow of Beaufort is the true graveyard of shipping in the Atlantic Ocean. Facts and dates I cannot reveal, but I have been authorized to make this statement" de clared Col. W. S. Pritchard, of Ft. Bragg, Wednesday af ternoon at the Court House. "Off your coast more ships have been sunk and more lives lost than anywhere be tween Maine and Florida." Then followed a strong ap peal for the safety of the boys who ride these ships more care and thought in dimming lights. The two hour school conducted by the Colonel who is Command er of Internal Security for the State and June Rose, Assistant State Director of Civilian Defense, was chiefly to clarify points about the dimout and work out plans for better enforcement. From the standpoint of cars, residences, and stores, those in authority say the dim out is less effective than a year ago. The Colonel recently rode by on a convoy and saw the situation for himself. He also cited lights seen about town which those pres ent could identify from his descrip tion as lights of citizens who would be expected to be among those most cooperative. The Presidet, our Commander in Chief, created the Militar Zones, the Army madet he regu lations, butw ithout disturbing civil processes, the burden of en forcement is in the local authori-: ties. If the local authorities can not enforce, the Army will rave to step in and do it their way. Colonel Pritchard put it up to the group not as a threat but as a fact. The question of enforcement raised many questions and the meeting resolved itseif temporar ily into a round table discussion. Representatives from the Captain of the Port, Fort Macon, and the State Highway Patrol were pres ent and made contributions. Both the municipal and County govern ments were represented as well as members of all the local law enforcement authorities. The group while not large constituted to use Rose's figure, "the team." Both Colonel Pritchard and June Rose spoke with conviction and force that made it unfortunate that others than the "team" were not present. The time seems to have come to make some convic tions in order to make people take the regulations seriously. As Mr. Rose says, people have a way of continuing to disregard until two or three are brought up in court. A brief of the regulations ha been distributed freely over town (yellow sheets) which Colonel Pritchard says is approved and if enforced, complete compliance with Army regulations will result. Penalties for violations are a fine not to exceed $5,000, or im prisonment for one year, or both, for each offense, and other penal ties, including exclusion from the Eastern Military Area. A brief of the brief follows: Blackout and keep blacked out all lights visible from the sea from any angle. Keep down the loom (Skyglow). Turn out all exposed outside lights Blackout the upper half of your auto headlights. Run only on park ing lights with 6 or less candle power bulbs where your lights are risible from the sea Keep off the beaches at night. Don't land or take off in a boat except from places customarily used for such purposes. Don't park with front of your car toward the sea. shipyards go eagerly to inspect the mobile homes offered them by 'the Federal.Public Housing Authority. With homes for 3,300 families available in. this' project,, it is expected to be fully occupied by mid" Ausrast" BEAUFORT BOYS InThe Service John Vanderveer, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Vanderveer has been promoted to the grade of pri vate first class and enrolled in Kessler's huge B-24 Liberator me chanics school. John's promotion and his selection for training, ac cording to a letter from the Public Relations Office at Kessler Field, Miss., are reseults of high scores reecived in his Army mechanical aptitude tests. His course will last 17 weeks. Neil Windiey, Cadet in the Merchant Marine Academy, is having his six months of sea duty and when heard from this week was in West Australia. Motor Vehicle Stamps at P. O. Federal Motor Vehicle Tax Stai.ip will be on sale at the Post Office through July 31. After that time they must be purchased from the Internal Revenue Department. Stamps must be on cars by July 1. Pfc. Frank L. Nance, USMC, of Paducah, Kentocky, grandson of Mr. and Mrs. D. F. Willis, last Sat hrday reported at Camp Elliott, San Diego for combat training. Lionel Arthhr left last week af ter ten days leave fpent with his mother at Mrs. Leta Mason's Ap artment on Orange Street. His condition is much improved and he is able to get about with a cane, but has returned to the Naval Hos pital at Charleston for further treatment Both Frank and Robert Robin son, sons of the late Frank Robin son, are serving with our forces abroad. Robert has an address in care of the P. M. at Nashville and Frank in care of the P. M. at New York. Harry Hendrix, USNR, now sta tioned at Washington, D. C, is ex pected on Saturday to spend ten days leave with his mother, Mrs. Lillian Hendrix. Word has been received that Bryan Springle, son of Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Sprigle, is in a hospit al in Gainesville, Ga., recuperat ing from an appendectomy. Sprin gle was taken sick as he was pil oting a plane which was leaving Gainesville for Atlanta. He return ed to Gainsville, saw a physician, thought he could complete the trip and took off again, but had to return and operative measures were necessary. Lt. Edgar H. Swann, USN, and Mrs. Swann will arrive Sunday! for a visit with the U. E. Swann's on Pollock Street URGES PUBLIC TO DO OWN TRAVEL RATIONING Have You Had Your TB Test? m.- ..... us. if ' Self-rationing of wartime travel by the American public and "stay-at-home" vacations were urged by Joseph B. Eastman, head of the Office of Defense Transportation, when he recently appeared on the public service radio program, "Washington Reports on Ration ing." The program, which features prominent Washington personali ties as guest speakers, is present ed every Sunday afternoon by the Council on Candy as Food in the War Effort, an organization spon sored by the National Confection era' Association. Known cases of TB in Carteret for six months of 1943 already e qual the whole total for 3 912. Take time to look at the Carteret County Health display in ti Car teret Hardware Store window and see comparisons made there to show the problem that we have. The average number of cases here in 1942 per 100,000 population exceeds the 1941 average for the State by 19. A large map of the County is also on display showing distribution of cases and of deaths by thumb tacks of two colors and cases being treated in sanatoriums by TB crosses. Distressing clus ters of each cover the region of Beaufort and Morehead City. What does the Department want us to do? Another poster calls at tention to the fact that tuberculiu tests are given at the Health De parment offices Tuesdays from 1 to 3 and Saturdays from 9 to 11. The ringing call from Dr. Stevick is for everyone in the County to have such a test either at the De partment or by his physician. The difference between taking a test and discovering trouble in its ear ly stages and not taking it may mean the difference between life and death or at least the differ? ence between a long "tedious ex pensive period of convalescence and a short period of limitation of activities. Those who have had known con tact with active cases or have old lesions are the most important, but the call goes out to everyone because although there are famil iar symptoms of TB, when these are manifest, the disease is al already pretty far advanced. If the Department Could get the ideal response and have a test on every one, get the active cases out of the population, and repeat the pro cedure annually, we would soon reach the enviable state of total lack of the disease. "If we just had a health de partment" Women's Club mem bers, Rotarians, Jaycees, and oth ers interested in public welfare have said time after time as prob lems have arisen. We have one now. We may not have it always. It's a more complete department than we had dared hoped for. It's headed by a man who has so an intelligent interest in his work that it has never to our know ledge been questioned even in idle conversation. It's up to us to be sensitive to this fact, use the de partment for all it's worth, and stand behind it whole hea:tedly. If after the war is over, wt lose it, all that has been accomplished in combatting venereal diseases, tuberculosis, contagions of every kind, and all of the educational work of the department will still be ous. Who Has The Money For 2nd War Loan? "Where Is all the money com lng from to meet the 13 billion dollars of the Second War Loan goal?" is a question beard on many sides. It will come out of the 45-billion dollar surplus earnings of 1943, according to statistics reported by Treasury experts. During 1941 personal savings of Individuals amounted to 9 billion dollars. During 1943 this surplus or prospective savings will increase by 86 billion dol lars over 1941 when consumer goods were easy to get. Now that prices are high, thrifty people will make their goods last longer and place more money in War Bonds. FT . i .
